Isn’t Hallowe’en, like, the best holiday? Angela thinks so, and so do we, as the opportunity to become someone else proves irresistible for several members of the My So-Called Life squad – including, just maybe, a g-g-g-g-g-g-ghost!!

He calls her Red… but who the hell is “her?” It’s a nosedive straight back into My So-Called Life‘s favourite topic – Angela’s pathological fixation with Jordan Catalano – in the one where notes are passed, songs are sung, and Jordan can’t read.

A real deep-dive this week, as we tackle my favourite episode of My So-Called Life, “The Substitute” – including a very special not-quite-a-diary entry, and many rhapsodic talkings with respect to my high school English teacher, who definitely would not have approved of my use of the word “talkings” just now.

My So-Cast Life is back and it’s better than ever! Meh, actually, I don’t know if that’s true because I basically think every single episode is excellent. This week it’s “Guns and Gossip,” the episode where Rickie really comes into his own. Important shit this time out. SPLAT! We’d hate to be that soda can. Sweetly…

I jump from Sandy to Nicki in this week’s horribly embarrassing journal entry and am called upon once again to reflect that maybe I should have vetted these diaries before pushing ahead with this podcast. Well, whatever. Plus: Kat continues to reframe MSCL for me in truly amazing ways – this week it’s about Angela’s…
